OVERVIEW

This sale will present an eye-catching cluster of 65 works from some of the star names of 20th-century art, including Modigliani's magnificently elegant homage to his patron Roger Dutilleul, a luminous Bauhaus masterpiece by Kandinsky and a striking rendering of two female nudes by Tamara de Lempicka, never before offered at auction.

Two vibrant oils by Picasso will also take centre stage, alongside a series of romantic, dazzlingly colourful compositions by Chagall. Other highlights include a large-format Pont-Aven street scene by Bernard and a monumental sculpture by Miró inspired by the Eiffel Tower. The sale will also showcase Cubist paintings by Lhote, Herbin and Gleizes together with Surrealist offerings from Lam, Toyen, Man Ray, Dalí and Breton.
